Figaro


We got a kitty! Lucien picked him out at the Humane Society and we are all in love.
We made him liver cookies yesterday and guess what? He loves them.

Liver Cat Cookies

1/2 cup dry milk
1/2 cup wheat germ
1 teaspoon honey
3-1/2 oz homemade blended liver (cook first, then blend)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine dry milk and wheat germ; drizzle honey on top.

Add the strained blended liver and stir until everything is well mixed.

Form the mixture into balls; place them on an oiled cookie sheet and flatten them with a fork.

Bake 8 - 10 minutes.

Consistency should be fudgy.

Store in a jar in the fridge; freeze if keeping more than a few days.
